Running Away From Home

Today it rains. Ho-Hum. So Mommy and I are spending a lot of time on the computer. We made a campaign sign because we are supporting Barack Obama in this election. One of the reasons we are supporting Obama is that the Republican candidate for Vice President doesn't think wolves should be protected and she doesn't think polar bears should be protected either.

Mommy and I are single-issue voters this year. We are voting only for candidates who support environmental stewardship and renewable energy sources. OK, that might be two issues, but they are very much related. Neither of the candidates have any policies about cats, but I think that cats and dogs can work together to help protect our friends the polar bears, wolves and other endangered animals.

One animal that is certainly NOT endangered is the chipmunk. This is certainly one issue that Cupcake and I see eye to eye on. Cupcake has tried to ambush the chipmunks in the back yard and as come up empty handed. The chipmunks laughed at her. I laughed too, but I understand how Cupcake feels when the chipmunks get feisty.

Well, at least I have a nice dry bed today for snoozing. All those chipmunks are wedged in between the damp, cold stones of the wall.
